Mark Schultz is a Christian Music Artist who has sold two million records to date, has ten No. 1 singles, and a Dove Award as well as multiple nominations under his belt. Naturally, he decided to join the Tangent for chat...
We talk everything from songwriting, to Mark's own story (he's was adopted because his mother choice life!), to plain old good stories. It was a pleasure to host Mark before his benefit concert at Fairfield University's Quick Center on March 15th for local ministry Malta House!

DESCRIPTION
This episode is absolutely packed. We start our conversation on comedy, specifically, how God uses it to build virtue. Then, we move to the personal development of comedian (and soon to be Catholic!) Shayne Smith and how Matt relates to it as a musician. This leads to talk of how theologians develop their positions over time, with Cardinal Dulles as the primary example. Finally, we apply the conversation about developing as a theologian to the controversial works produced by Cardinal Fernandez, the prefect of the DDF. Cardinal Fernandez has publicly spoken against and rescinded his former works, so these are not questions of disobedience, but rather, ones seeking clarity.
JAM PACKED!

Haiti 80 is a charity that aims to improve the lives of the Haitian People, building schools, orphanages (more accurately called "homes", no one who lives there feels orphaned), medical facilities, nursing homes, Chapels. Haiti 180 helps the Haitian people know their dignity by providing for them and instructing them in the Catholic faith.
